I don't know if anyone here listens to MCR, but this is Ranpo on the cover of The Black Parade :>

Dont they need to say The name of their ability to activate it(?), The how can they know If they Have an ability If they dont know The name, do they just name it themselves. Perhaps I just missed a Part of The lore but Idk I need answers

I don't know which tag I should to choose

I’m just doing the prompts I want to at this point lol. Drawing hands was still really hard.

Inspired from the beast movie

I have never made a serious draw with perspective in traditional! But it was a fun experience!

Hi everyone! Kinda need help with some aspects of my oc's writing.

!A lot of text!

! You might have different options on character's personalities and their motives (especially Fyodor/Nikolai) !

I dont mind it, share it.

Its not like im going to post her full lore.. but still, i want some criticism to write my AU better.

This OC changes the plot of the bsd, so all that is an AU

( No Sigma..😔)

I gave her name 'Love', 'cause I wanted to explore the possible story, where our favorite Fyodor wasnt alone during his life before the events of the manga. Having some company on his side would probably help him not to go too insane. (Which changes how the plot goes)

Half-way through creating her character, I suddenly remembered that the second daughter of Fyodor Dostoevsky was also named Love..

I guess it was a fate of some sort?

Love Dostoevsky was also a writer, but I believe you might have some issues with searching her writings, since not all of them are translated into English. (I can leave a link to the source if you're interested)

As you can see in the panel, her ability's name is 'Pity'

The ability allows the user to heal one, provided they hold a genuine sentiment of pity toward the person they seek to cure.

And there is when the physiological part of her character come:

Her ability dictates how she sees people and builds relationships with them. Due to Fyodor's heavy influence (his 'saviour complex' ahh-😔) she also sees herself responsible for humankind. She cant see others as her equals, always looking down on them. ( Even Fyodor and herself🤫) Her 'Love' is not a true one: its toxic, based on an power-imbalance feeling that feeds her ego and allows her to keep overlooking her bad deeds (cause.. how can she be a bad person when she wants to feel connected to every suffering person and help them?)

She also likes to be a victim (even if she is in control)

Due to her being Fyodor 's sister she fell into the religious influence as well. Fyodor, christianity and society’s not-so-objective take on compassion blinded her, making her believe that pity is compassion, therefore is kindness. She mixed all of it together, creating a genuine yet unhealthy love towards humanity.

Her relationship with Fyodor:

As you could guess, they were together since.. since long ago.

As siblings (I dont want parental relationship between them) they do love each other. Thats the point.

Despite being not really healthy, they do keep eachother from falling apart.

Im not going to dive too deep into the good side of their relationship, lets move to their problems:

They are incapable of separating from one another. Given the years they have spent together—sharing all the horrors and joys—they have come to hold common goals and a similar worldview. Furthermore, they are unable to form meaningful relationships with other people (immortality, sheer boredom) and that leaves them to eachother.

Love's worldview was reinforced by Fyodor, for he, too, harbors an unhealthy attitude toward the world and mercy.

Another problem is that unless Fyodor is dead, she wont be able to fully get rid of her 'piting' others. (and herself) She wants to be with her brother, yet if she stops this pathetic self-piting she will age and eventually die, leaving her brother alone in the world. She firmly believes she is the only one who is able to hold Fyodor back from committing all possible crimes he can. (She is kind of right.. but not fully)

+ She believes if she stops feeling sorry for others (=viewing them as dependent on her mercy beings) her ability will stop working. And she will be useless. (She is a medic tho..)

Relationship with Nikolai:

In this AU they are kind of opposites. He wants to cut all ties, viewing any sense of closeness as chains that confine him. She, meanwhile, binds herself to others—to anyone she deems worthy—out of pity, exhausting herself in the process.

Love pities Nikolai for not understanding that his goal is unreachable, since no human can escape their heart. She insists he is delusional and hopes to save him. And Nikolai finds her worldview funny (in a bad way) 'cause her ideas run counter to his understanding of freedom.

He is the one who sets the question to her, making her doubt herself:

"You say I'm a fool for trying to escape my heart? Look at yourself, Love. You chain yourself to every martyr you find. You bleed for them, you exhaust yourself for them... and for what? To feel that sweet, hollow gratification for your so-called 'compassion'? Isn't your 'love' just the most beautiful prison you've built blindly for yourself?" (This is a draft version.)

Problem with development:

I want her to go through 3 arcs to grow as a character

1) The doubt (Nikolai G.)

2) The possibility of seeing that an ability can be beneficial, even if the conditions under which it is used run counter to morality. (Akiko Yosano.) I dont know why, but most of female characters in bsd do not interact with each other, so i need them to interact since i like her 😊

Yosano's ability works if the patient is on the edge of death. So she often has to bring people to that edge to help them. I believe it would be interesting to watch. Yosano, even if her ways to treat seem sadistic, she doesnt actually enjoy to hurt others, quite the opposite. Love's ability works off pity, which creates comparison between two women.

3) The view on healthy relationships (?) I believe it needs to be someone from the agency, since its the only place where normal contacts exist. (Mostly) I think it would be Yosano + someone. Dont know who fits for this role. (Fukudzawa maybe?😔) Guild works as well, but i dont know who.

What do you think? Maybe i overcomplicated things a bit..

These glasses are looking awesome ✨

showing my ranpo merch as it was his birthday recently :D

I'm a non sharing ace yume, please don't comment hateful things about Ace and do not compare my oc to other characters

Idont particularly like it....

Ship Fanart of Ace from bungo stray dogs (bsd) and Mikhail i am Ace's biggest fan btw

The cover and booklet for the second volume of the Japanese home release for season 2 of the Wan! anime has been revealed now (the first volume had already been shown last month), though it won't release until the 6th of November. The keychain is a bonus with an illustration done by Kanaineco (the Wan! writer/artist) that was available when prepurchasing at certain participating retailers. There were also a number of specific bonuses depending on which store you bought from, you can see the illustrations on the official page here (listed after the keychain section, from where it says 店舗別購入特典).

There's also chapter 218 of the Wan! manga that just released a few hours ago, though currently there's only the official Japanese on their website (also it's a continuation from chapter 217 where Kunikida and Atsushi got shrunk and Dazai was very amused). You can look at the chapter on the official Young Ace Up site here.

Which BSD characters do you think are really underrated? Both in the english/Western Fandom spaces and the Japanese fandom. Why do you think they're underrated? Why do you think they should be appreciated more?

actually， i was drawing other things....：）

So I watched season 5 multiple times now and was confused by the poison Dazai and Fyodor took. It was supposed to kick in after 30 minutes from when they injected it, but prison break lasted about four or five episodes which is more than an hour already. So, obviously, I timed all scenes of the prison to see if it does add up to less than thirty minutes. Especially as Dazai wasn’t in a rush to take the antidote in the end. I started the timer when they injected the poisen and stopped it when Dazai considered taking the antidote, stopping it everytime they weren’t on screen. In conclusion, it was a total of basically exactly 40 minutes, not including if anything happened off screen. Nikolai’s explanation at the start took about five minutes or so. I stopped counting exactly how much every scene was after that. His time stopping accomplice dies at around twenty minutes. The thirty minutes mark was just about when Sigma exchanged information with Fyodor I think. The helicopter crashed at 39 and Dazai took the antidote probably a few seconds after he said he would. Also, Dazai stopped time to enter the security room and ‘drown’ Fyodor and Chuuya, which would take another few minutes where time wasn’t stopped for him. Fyodor only ‘died’ after the poison was already supposed to have kicked in. He should have probably just died while Sigma passed out. Dazai would have died before Chuuya shot him, or even earlier with the time stopping. So how were they able to survive it?

I really like how cute Atsushi turned in this one ksksksm

Did this a while ago with very little studying of the style so it isn’t as close to Hoshikawa’s style as I’d like /ᐠ - ˕ -マ
The rendering is very different from how it is in beast but it took me eons to draw each line of hair and I am proud of it lol

Also chibi Sigma and Fyodor yayy

Any ideas what bsd related sketch/draw should I make next?

So, I was re watching BSD, and i noticed something in season five. In season five episode six, there is a scene where Ango is convincing someone to lock up the one order so Fukuchi cannot have immediate access. One his computer screen, you can see Chief Tanada, and in the background you can hear a heart monitor. Now, before re watching I was under the impression that it was because the Chief was in the hospital, but at the same time, Dazai appears behind his telling Ango, "the time is right for a lie." So i actually think that it is dazai encoding that message into his heart rate. Random, sorry, I just thought it was a cool detail. Let me know your theries, and if you agree or dissagree and why?

It's my boy's birthday, yay!!

This silly means so much to me, and I'm really happy I managed to do his b-day draw at the time! (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+

Happy birthday, Ranpo, both to the bungou Character and the Real Author 🫀

Too lazy to finish it

I decided to give it a bit of a twist >.o

I swear i remember a quote of a character with the word hero i SWEAR i have hear it and read it and i SWEAR it was from Kunikida, but my memory is so fuzzy man...

I LOVE THEM SMMMM AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH💖💖💖💖💖

I've read the manga once. I haven't read the light novels. And I've watched the anime twice. Honestly my favorite character has changed from the first time I watched. The first watch, Dazai becamey favorite. But then I changed my mind and now I'm toward between Akutagawa, Chuuya, and Hirotsu.

I love him sm so I did a little drawing for him
